    Better than God Control or on par ?

    Both completely different, LFM is an amazing soaring ballad with some of M's strongest vocals of the last couple of years! Truly epic! This should have been on the regular! One of her best ballads ever possibly?!?

    "Is it really love if it hurts
    Is it really pain if it's inside
    On the outside I'm strong
    Hold my hand, please sympathize
    Hard enough try to forgive
    Hard not try to live
    Please don't criticize, yeah
    Please please sympathize, yeah

    Somebody to teach me to love
    Somebody to help me rise above
    I need to survive
    I'm looking for...
    Looking for, looking for, looking for mercy..."

    God Control lyrics:

    Everybody knows the damn truth
    Our nation lied, and lost respect
    When we wake up, what can we do
    Get the kids ready
    Take them to school
    Everybody knows they don’t have a chance
    To get a decent job
    To have a normal life
    When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh
    They pretend to help, it makes me laugh
    I think I understand why people get a gun
    I think I understand why we all give up
    Every day they have a kind of victory
    Loving ourselves, spread everywhere
    They say that we need love
    But we need more then this

    (Choir): We lost god control (4x)

    This is your wake-up call
    I’m like your nightmare
    I’m here to start your day

    This is your wake-up call
    We don’t have to fall
    A new democracy, god and pornography

    A new democracy

    People think that I’m insane
    The only gun is in my brain
    Each new birth, it gives me hope
    That’s why I don’t smoke that dope
    Insane people think I am
    Brain inside my only friend
    Hope it gives me birth each new
    That dope I don’t smoke it’s true

    Everybody knows the damn truth
    Everybody knows the damn truth, wake up

    We got to wake up, wake up, wake up
    We need to wake up, wake up, wake up

    It’s a hustle, yeah
    It’s a hustle
    It’s a con
    It’s a hustle

    It’s a weird kind of energy
    A bizarre thing that happens to be
    An abnormal fraternity
    And I feel more then sympathy

    We got to wake up, wake up, wake up
    We need to wake up, wake up, wake up

    People think that I’m insane
    The only gun is in my brain
    Each new birth, it gives me hope
    That’s why I don’t smoke that dope
    Insane people think I am
    Brain inside my only friend
    Hope it gives me birth each new
    That dope I don’t smoke it’s true

    Everybody knows the damn truth
    Everybody knows the damn truth

    We got to wake up, wake up, wake up

    Wake up
    Aaaah, aaaah, aaah

    A new democracy!!!

    Everybody knows the damn truth
    Our nation lied, we’ve lost respect
    When we wake up, what can we do
    Get the kids ready
    Take them to school
    Everybody knows we don’t have a chance
    Get a decent job
    Have a normal life
    When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh
    We pretend to help, it makes me laugh

    Choir: We lost god control (repeat)

    Wake Up, wake up, wake up, wake up

    I'm confused...I just listened to a supposed "leak" of God Control on twitter and it was just a piano and a little bit of beat........this wasn't the DISCO strings version snippet i heard elsewhere....am I listening to the wrong song?

     

     

    That is an unreleased Rebel Heart era demo, titled "God is Love", not related to God Control in any way!

    Detailed review of "I Don't Search I Find":

    The song flat out opens with M singing "Finally enough love" in a very commanding voice. In the background you hear a very highpitched synth changing one tone to another, which is looped through most of the track, including finger snaps. Very slow and long intro. Some deep housey chords through out, then M's dreamy vocals come in "I don't search, I find" repeated a few times, at one point she sings the I Don't Seeaaaaaarch, and her voice is extended and pitched up higher and higher. Then the beat kicks in, full on 90's instrumentation, four to the floor. But in a very dreamy, laidback kind of way. Where God Control is high octane energy dancefloor stuff, this is more an after party kind of track. "I found love, I found something new. I found you, yeah I found you. Platinum gold, inside your soul". Her voice is really dreamy and searching over this soundscape of the best 90's house. Then the tracks goes off into these distorted warbles for a bit as if there is static on the track. Then the track stops with the exception of the two note synth loop, remniscent of Vogue's opening, finger snaps are added. In comes M with an Erotica like vocal, spoken word: "It's our gypsy blood. We life between life and death, waiting to move on. And in the end, we accept it. We shake hands with our fate and we walk past, there's no rest for us in this world, finally enough love!" As the beat is dropped over those vocals. After that the track slows down for a bit for some repeated vocals, beat comes back, now with added backing vocals by M, repeating the lyrics in backings. The song swells, as she repeats "Finally enough love" a few times this time with the most gorgeous backing vocal melody responding the lyrics back to her as the song gradually swells to the climax when she proclaims "finally enough love" as the pulsating synth fades us out...

    Is it too odd for a single? It sound really exciting. I only hreard parts here and there. I am looking forward to the video

    It's not a conventional song by any means, but it KICKS ASS! Only M could make a catchy, disco, dance track which is basically a cry for gun reform and gun control! It's a political statement wrapped in Disco beats, violins and clapping sounds! I can NOT wait to see the video for this one, this is going to be epic, and DAMN controversial. I could see why Eurovision would not want this to be performed on their stage, but if it had been she would have had the world crawling at her feet!

    Okay, beware of spoilers, detailed review of God Control:

    The track opens with a continuation of the ending of Dark Ballet, you hear M huffing and puffing and breathing, then a solemn piano with M's vocals (she sounds like she has grills in her mouth, but for some reason it fits the tone of the lyrics, as her voice starts to get more and more aggrivated and aggresive as she continues). Talking about the state of the nation and how we need to wake up "When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh. They pretend to help, it makes me laugh." She finishes with "They say that we need love, but we need more then this", piano drops away for a bit, then the choir comes in full blast, repeating the line "We lost God Control". Then the track stops, and these disco tinged violins come in, you hear a few gun shots and bullet shells falling to the floor, a stewardess like vocal comes in saying "This is your wake-up call. I'm like your nightmare. I'm here to start your day!" Full on Disco instrumentation kicks in as M starts to sing "This is your wake-up call". Very catchy melody, with violins warbling, clapping, a fun beat, then comes the wordy rappinghood inspired rap section followed by a whispering M "everybody knows the damn truth, wake up" which goes into frantically warbling violins with a repeated and heavily vocodered Wake Up. Then later the violins drop out as the disco beat continues and she sings a new melody line "It's a weird kind of energy", then back into the vocodered wake-up, back to the wordy rappinghood rap. Then the track starts to build to a crescendo with the violins rising and falling, vocodered warbling "wake up, wake up, wake up" again. Instrumental bit with Mirwais' best take on disco. Then the track drops in energy as she screams in a processed voice "A NEW DEMOCRACY", as the music is low in energy she starts whispering the opening monologue again as the music starts to swell, this time with the Choir in the background, heavy chords slammed on the piano as the track grows and grows, untill only the choir remains repeating "We lost god control" untill they drop out as well and M repeats in a whispered voice "wake up wake up wake up" until it fades out!

    That's good to know. I just feel badly for Madonna if the full album leaked.

    Guess it will probably happen before the 14th anyway, but let's hope for the best.

    Well, in all fairness, if Madonna and her team REALLY didn’t want it to leak, they would have separated the digital from the physical release. Now the album is shipped all over the world, actually being sold already, with thousands of people potentially having access to it. They knew this might happen. They probably have a back-up plan should an actual full rip appear online, and then work on prosecuting the person responsible for the leak. That prospect and the fact that the last leak and the prosecution of the previous culprit instilled a lot of fear in people. Hopefully enough for them to think twice before leaking anything!

    Please say it's much more like the Vogue rap and not the AL rap.

    It’s more like a tribute to “wordy rappinghood”, YouTube that! 

    M’s team is contacted about that Instagram account and those clips! They are on it!

    I can’t even really blame that guy. He bought it fair and square, it’s the record store’s fault for breaking the rules, they should get fined etc! But I’m sure M’s team are on top of it! 

    Quite clever to swamp Twitter with that madamex hashtag and that Twitter Q&A! Hehehe good timing!

     It’s most likely to leak, but I doubt it will happen over the weekend, as far as we know it was only sold in one record store in Chile, as a vinyl! No digital copy has been breached. Madonna’s team is on top of things and people know that if they leak it, it will be traced down and they will be sued and charged with a criminal offense. Hardly seems worth it when the official release date is merely days away. We’ll hear it Thursday afternoon! When New Zealand gets it’s hands on it first! 👍🏻😊 so excited!!! 😱🤩😍❤️
